Summary 

This case report demonstrates a modification of the so-called ‘Extended V-Y Flap’ used to simultaneously reconstruct a defect involving the upper lip, floor of nose and alar rim following tumour excision. We hope that this case serves as a reminder of the versatility of the V-Y flap in the nasolabial region, and its considerable capacity for augmentation.
